General Comments:

This car had good power although after about 90,000 miles, it started to nickel and dime me to death.

Had to have the transmission replaced, water pump, exhaust.

This car has a lot of problems do not buy this car ever!

Faults:

The dome light stayed on constantly so the bulb was removed until the button on the frame for the domelight could be replaced.

Daytime Running Lights don't come on anymore.

ABS bulb in dash burnt out.

General Comments:

This is a very comfy car. I like the fact that I can buy a cheap car and have things like A/C, heated mirrors, cruise control, etc.

Huge cabin. Even tall people are comfy, especially in the front.

Easy to read dash instruments especially at night.

Faults:

The car is in overall decent shape.

Paint is starting to fade and wear thin in some spots.

Front bumper has a slight bend in it due to a minor curb impact by the previous owner.

The interior carpeting has worn out and faded in some places.

General Comments:

This car is an ideal road cruiser. While it cannot out perform a mustang, it has great pickup and hugs the turns like a sports car.

After 166,000 miles on the car by the previous owner, this car is still running strong with not a thing wrong with it.

The interior is near perfect and the factory stereo sounds almost as great as a new custom audio deck.

It's not a big car, but it makes great use of space with a roomy interior and spacious trunk.

The Spirit rides smooth and steady, even with the original suspension.

And last of all... I feel safe knowing that there is a driver's side airbag in my car.

Faults:

First Repair ever needed: 95,000 miles -alternator failed; replaced.

120,000 - radiator failed; replaced.

160,000 - head gasket leaked and caused engine head to crack; replaced both parts.

180,000 - 3 of the 4 shocks worn out; replaced.

This car was on the orginal engine and transimission it's whole life (182,000 miles) except for the replaced engine head.

General Comments:

An extremely reliable and long lasting vehicle, especially considering that it is American. Reliability definitely rivals the Accord and Camry. I have owned a Camry and it was nowhere near as dependable.

Gas mileage was excellent at about 32mpg on the highway.

A very comfotable driving vehicle with big, soft split-bench seating and a huge interior and trunk for a compact sedan. Can fit 5 adults in good comfort. Tons of leg, hip, and head room in all seating positions.

Not a single squeak or rattle from the interior in it's entire 182,000 miles of life. No trim ever broke off. Very solid and well built.

Repairs were very inexpensive compared to most cars in this class, especially foreign models. Maintainance was easy as pie... so easy in fact, that I could do tune-ups myself on this car for a quarter of what shops charge and I am no mechanic!

To sweeten the pot even more, these cars are extremely inexpensive to buy used. About half the cost of a comparable Japanese model and just as reliable and long lasting! Problem is, 1995 was the last year they made this gem, so they are quite difficult to find used in good condition. Why oh why did they stop making these wonderful cars!?

Poor "ol' Blue", my ex-Plymouth Acclaim, was totalled in a rear-end impact at 182,000 miles. I do not doubt for a second that she would have lasted past the 200,000 mile mark on the original engine and tranny. Beat that Chevy and Ford!
